Newscasters are notorious for on-air gaffes when it comes segueing from one topic to another, especially if words on their teleprompter look similar or sound alike. Bill Lunn, a newscaster for KSTP, the local ABC affiliate in Minneapolis, isn’t an exception to that rule.

F*g. Flag?

Ooops.

Lunn did the obvious thing after his slip of the tongue. He went apologized via Twitter.

I celebrate the diversity of our great state and am horrified that I may have offendedpeople. I humbly ask for your forgiveness.
